Problem with PHP and Mysql UTF-8 (Special Character)

I Have a form with one textbox called(ProductTitle)

if I write as example “Étuit” in the textbox and click on Save, I post the data in a table called Product. The result int the database for ProductTitle is Ã‰tuit. My concern is about the Special character. Instead of putting É in the database , I got that Ã‰

When I Load the Product Title (“Étuit”) from the database into a span. That show correctly.
BUT When I load it inside a Textbox to Edit the Product Title, that show Ã‰tuit.

Anybody know why.

I Put that in the html head

<head>
     <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Note : When I Click save on the form, the data is posted with jquery ajax method.

Answer

Take a look at utf8_encode() and utf8_decode(). Also take a look at multibyte string functions.
